If you are a fish lover try this!! Not only you love me, your neighbours too will love you. So gorgeous is the smell and the taste. The food from kerala is simple, zesty, flavourful, and offers an intelligent combination of potent spices. Sardines is a popular fish to do a shallow fry, they are easy to prepare and tastes great.

Here in this post I have done this fish on a coloured plate to contrast the food. When I saw this blue plate in the shop, I was in a dilemma to get it or not. Still I found something interesting in that plate. It is really challenging for me as it is a blue colour, of all the colours in the spectrum, blue is an appetite suppressant.

Did you know that the colour of your food, dishes, table linens and wall colour can all have an effect on your appetite? Some colours can excite your senses and entice you to eat more, while others won’t.

I have read in one article, the makers of M&Ms – an American candy that contains an assortment of different coloured chocolate sweets -added a new colour to its candy bag: Blue. Why Blue? Although they reported that this was the result of a vote by M&M’s fans it raises a few questions. It may very well be the last colour left in the bag after the novelty wears off.

HI Sumith– it’s true– we begin eating with our eyes. This plate of food is so inviting! Those sardines look the the ones we roasted over a fire on picnics when we lived in Spain. Wish I had that meal right now! thanks!! xo

Very true Rhonda, we begin eating with our eyes. When I read this fire roasted sardines my mind run around in many places😃😅 wow so tasty it is. This one with bit of spices on a shallow fry is soo tasty. And too the smell i’s gorgeous. You will love it of you like fish:)

You made it look as if the fish are swimming in blue water, and the rusty – reddish hummus underneath makes a nice color layer between the plate and the fish. Beautiful! Incidentally, blue M&M’s have been a great hit with kids; they count who finds more blue ones and win things. That’s one way to get kids to count!

I have almost the same plates in my kitchen, my friends and guests love the color of blue, it makes my food look more exciting and exotic!! I love fish, Sardines are not my favorite one’s, yet I guess I can substitude with Tilapia or other flaky fish?

How fascinating the psychology of colour on food … for me though I love that blue plate with the fish so pretty upon it – it reminds me of the sea and the sky and evokes outdoor eating which with the weather turning cold is a welcome thought indeed!
